Apache sub-tribes in New Mexico and Ari-
iona Of old mines and the ruins of towns
agreed in the main points with what | had
learned from ancient records and tradition
r. old Mexico; therefore we were quite
sanguine that our prospecting expedition
would prove successful.
Securing Indian ponies for riding and
packing, and procuring. all necessary sup
plies we two determined at once to go quietly
into the region where the ancient mines
were supposed to lie and see for ourselves
what was to be found.
We wanted no large party to attract bands
of hostile Indians and give trouble, if not to
bring about the massacre of all who were of
the expedition. Having been all his life on
the frontiers among Indians, and having for
years acted in the capacity of scout and
interpreter in Arizona and New Mexico--in
which regions he was for three years a
prisoner among the Apaches-Mr. Lee felt
confident we would be able to reach our
destination in Sierra Madre and pass out
again without molestation by the savages,
and so the event proved.
Ishall not enter into full particulars in re-
gard to the manner in which we did this;
suffice it to say that our movements, both
by day and by night-for often we travelled
by night only-were governed by an init
mate acquaintance with the characters,
habits and superstitions ofthe Indians, partic-
uarly by the latter, as we were both disguised
as Indian medicine men or soothsayers.
Our paint was always that of some other
band or sub-tribe tn an that in whose country
%ha rod
by any rowing party, we would be taken for
wise men" from some neighboring or
stranger tribe, bound on some mysterious
mission, and would not be stopped or in any
way interfered with.
Sometimes we represented travelling medi-
cine men of the Chricaquis, the Coyatuos,
the Lipans or the Tontos, and again were
painted as being of the Mimbrensos. How
ever, we were not often seen by scouting
Indians Of any tribe, and when seen had
only to make few signs and show certain
objects to keep all at a distance. To explain
our success in this business, | must tell you
that Mr.. Lee really is fully-initiated medi-
cine man in several tribes, knows all their
mysteries, and is besides we'll acquainted
with the sign language used in all that
region.
Well, it is sufficient to say that we found
means to get into the mountains without
molestation, and to come away with our
scalps. Now, shall come at once to what
you wish to hear. We finally entered the
country for which we had set ont. Crossing
high ridge one afternoon. we saw before Us,
surrounded on all sides by high and Ragged
mountains, several small valleys that de-

DECORATIVE NOVELTIES.
Some Hints to Housekeepers of Taste
Worth Noting.

Especial attention is being given nowadays
to the dressing Of the bed in the guest cham
Der, the most elaborate work and the richest
materials being devoted to this use. Among
the latest novelties may be included the
newly imported embroidered linen sheets,
finished neatly at either end by a broad hem
stitched hem, and at one end showing a
richly embroidered band of ornament in
Irish tambour about eighteen inches deep,
this part of the sheet being meant to pass up
and over the pillows instead of shams, which
are somewhat out of style. Pillow cases
to accompany these are very simply
finished with a broad hemstitched hem.
These sheets, according to their size and
depth of embroidery, cost from nine to ten
and half dollars each. Very new also are
some Chinese spreads lined with China silk
and finished at the four corners by long and
elaborate silk tasses and at the four sides by
a ten-inch netted fringe of rich silks. A
Chinese spread is composed of very rich
satin; the cOlOrs are variOusly POmpeian
red, lemon bronze, pale blue, cardinal and
other grounds
New table linen is of fine monte ground,
the monte weave resembling fine monte
damasking among the richest of recent I'M
ported napery are sets of table cloths and
very large napkins, showing elaborate in
sertiOns of Mexican lace handmade in geo.
metrical designs between borders of drawn
work. the cloths and napkins finished with
broad hemstitched hem set of this de-
scription costs $40. Very elaborate fine
monte towels come in the same style, and
are finished by long netted heading tringes
and insertions of drawn work. Buffet
scarfs are enriched by embroideries in bril-
liant colors in chain stitch; an effect
i've scarf of this style shows fine
linen monte ground and canvas borders,
beyond which is handsome deep fringe;
on the monte. embroidered in cardinal at
either end, is group of grittins rampant set
in scrolls of cardinal and old gold embroidery;
in the centre is set ornament of vase-like
form from which spring scrolls and arabesques

outlined with black line. German EN-
brodery in full blue outlined with white, or
red and white, or white with embroidered
outline in color, adorns other scarfs. A re-

table show q fine monte pattern, damasked

and whispered Look ~ at the same time
POINTING toward the trail that led mp along
the rocky wall of the canyon from the burn
ing town.
There, flying up the trail, was woman
robed in white, her yellow hair streaming
back ON the breeze that blew down the can
Won toward the fire. Her face was white as
marble, and her fixed eyes were almost
starting from their sockets through excess OF
terror. She was young, apparently but little
beyond grlhood.
Swiftly she sped toward us, seeming
hardly to touch the ground. On she came
Bounding from the trail, she seemed coming
directly to where Arthur and myself were
standing Involuntarily we both took a step
forward, when, like the wind, she passed
within a yard of us, her eyes still fixed and
turning neither to right nor left. Quickly
she flew past and darted into the old tunnle
near our camp.
Having seen the terror-stricken woman
thus hid away, we naturally turned our eyes
back toward the town. As we did so wesaw
dashing up the trail brawny and hldeously
painted Indian brave. He looked very
demon from the internal regions. His OBJ
ject was evident to us both
by the living God he shall not do it.'
cried Arthur, snatching up his gun-the very
gun he now holdsin his hands-and cooking
both barrels.
1--WE must kill him." said l. drawing my
long hunting knife.
Leaping from the trail, after he had passed
the little precipice, the savage ran directly
toward us, as the fleeing woman had done
moment before
Arthur leveled his gun and fired one bar
rel after the other in quick succession. The
Indian never faltered in his course-never
moved an eye.
AS the brave was passing, I dashed for
ward and clutching at his arm struck at bis
naked side with all my strength; but my
hand found no arm and my knife passed
through naught but air.
The Indian flew to the tunnel, dashed into
it and moment later dragged forth the
woman we had seen seek shelter therein.
Her shrieks were wild and most piteous to
hear. Hurting the shrieking creature to the
ground, the savage swung his club aloft and
dealt her blow after blow, breaking down
her arms and crushing in her skull.

BY DAN DE GUILE.
Copyrighted, 1851

About the middle of December, 1886, there
arrived in Virginia City, New. two men
fresh from prospecting trip into that part
of the Sierra Madre range of mountains
which lies in New Mexico. The men were
Edwin Farquhar, an English mining engi
neer, and Arthur E. Lee an old Indian
fighter and scout, who has seen much SER
vice in the Apache country. The pair were
on their way to London, England, with sam
piles of ores of various kinds, obtained dur
ing their trip into the range of mountains
named. I had met Mr.. Farquhar two years be-
fore nVirginiaCity and therefore had slight
acquaintance with him. Meeting him again
on the Comstock and learning that he and
companion were just in from New Mexico
and the wilds of the Sierra Madre, | asked
him many questions about the regions he
had visited, his success in prospecting and
how he had managed to keep clear Of the
clutches of old Geronimo during the time Of
the Indian troubles.
In the course of our conversation Mr..
Farquhar touched upon an adventure he
had met with which a good deal excited my
curiosity. Observing that l was much in
terested and anxious to hear the whole
story, he said the adventure was one that he
did not much like to talk about on the
street, or anywhere in public, as there was in
If too much of the supernatural; but at last
he agreed that if would go with him to his
rooms at the International Hotel where he
could have the countenance and support of
his companion, Mr.. Lee, who had partici-
pated in the adventure he would relate the
strange affair in full.
Mr.. Lee was found at the rooms occupied
by the two men at the hotel named. He
proved to be bronzed and stalwart man
about forty-five years of age AS we entered
he was engaged in overhauling the locks of
fine double-barreled shotgun. His close
cropped sandy hair was sprinkled with gray
but his face was still unwrinkled and his
eyes were keen and bright.
The old scout chatted for several minutes
quite pleasantly upon Indifferent topics, his
face occasionally lighting up with smile
that made him look ten years younger than
when his features were in repose. Presently
Mr.. Farquhar informed him that had come
to hear some account of what befell them at
the ruined city in the Sierra Madre.
At this the face of the old scout under
went sudden change. A portion of the
gun-lock that he happened to have in his
hands at the moment fell to the floor, his

, scended along large canyon that led ont to
the south ard west. Descending the noun
tain along the head Of this carvon. we
reached the first of the little valleys or flats
in the evening, half an hour before dark, and
were glad to find in it a spring of sweet
water, with plenty of grass for our ponies.
In descending the mountain we had seen
below in one of the little valleys what we
thought to be piles Of gray rocks: appar-
emily great fragments Of granite. Looking
now into the valley below. and from which
we were separated by little precipce that
dropped almost sheer down to depth of
twenty or thirty feet. we saw before us at a
distance of 800 yards the ruins Of a town or
small city. 1t lay to the eastward of us in
the fading light of the setting sun, as re-
fected downward from the sky, and in the
midst of it the tower of what had evidently
been large church was still standing in a
very good state IF preservation, though the
walls of the main structure were much
still had one or more Of their walls standing,
and some of the small houses-those of one
story-lacked little but their roofs.
Surrounding the ruins of the town were
the remains of wall that had been about
twenty feet in height. In some places this
wall-which we afterward found to be con-
structed in part of rough blocks of gneiss
and in part of adobes-stood almost in
tact for several rods, when there came places
where it was wholly overthrown. How
ever, as we arrived late, we had not much
time in which to view the ruins, even at
distance. After our usual brush wind
shelter had been made, and dry wood for
small fire collected, we looked about a little
and discovered signs of ancient mining along
the rocky walls of the little valley in which
we had halted. Quite near us in the bluff on
the north side was the open mouth Of a tun-
mel. A trail had also been cut in the rock
along that side of the canyon, which led by
not very steep grade round the little preci-
plce or "dry falr' to the fiat below, in which
slumbered the ruins of the town.
We did not have time to examine the old
tunnel, though but few yards away, as we
were in haste to cook our small meal and
put out our fire before nightfall. You may
be sure, however, that we talked long about
our great discovery after we had rolled our
